Natural Product Identification
Common Name4-Methoxybenzyl alcohol
Description4-Methoxybenzyl alcohol, also known as anis alcohol or 4-methoxy-benzenemethanol, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as benzyl alcohols. These are organic compounds containing the phenylmethanol substructure. It is a colorless liquid that is used as a fragrance and flavorant. Anisyl alcohol (4-methoxybenzyl alcohol) is an organic compound with the chemical formula CH3OC6H4CH2OH. 4-Methoxybenzyl alcohol is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). 4-Methoxybenzyl alcohol is a sweet, caramel, and chocolate tasting compound. Outside of the human body, 4-Methoxybenzyl alcohol is found, on average, in the highest concentration within anises. 4-Methoxybenzyl alcohol has also been detected, but not quantified in, herbs and spices. This could make 4-methoxybenzyl alcohol a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. 4-Methoxybenzyl alcohol is found in Artemisia dracunculus , Cucurbita maxima, Cucurbita pepo, Cyrtopodium macrobulbon, Foeniculum vulgare, Gastrodia elata, Illicium verum, Ipomoea nil, Osmanthus fragrans , Palisada perforata, Pleurotus pulmonarius, Spathiphyllum cannifolium, Vanilla pompona and Vanilla tahitensis. It occurs naturally but is produced by reduction of anisaldehyde.
